Exercise 3
E*Trade Financial Corporation ran a memorable ad during the 2010 NFL Super Bowl in which a baby boy and a baby girl are chatting online via the use of a web camera. The dialogue between the two babies, who have the voices of adults, is as follows:
Baby boy: "So, yea, sorry about last night." Baby girl: "I just don't understand why you didn't call last night."
Baby boy: "I was on E*Trade, you know, diversifying my portfolio, taking control like a wolf."
Baby girl: "Right."
Baby boy: "That volatility in the market, taken care of, wolf-style… (howls)."
Baby girl: "And that milkaholic Lindsay wasn't over?"
Baby boy: "Lindsay?"
Second baby girl pops in front of the web camera: "Milkawhat?"
Lindsay Lohan, a 23-year-old actress who has been required to attend drug rehabilitation programs and has served time in jail for various drug charges, has filed a $100 million suit against E*Trade for appropriation of her likeness and image.
